The Ember Residence
Blending ancient feng shui principles with West Coast modernism - this one turned out pretty special. Client wanted something that felt grounded yet ethereal.
Residential
Verdant Tower
When a tech startup asked us for a 'living building', we took that literally. Vertical gardens meet sacred geometry in downtown Van.
Commercial Sustainable
The Gastown Revival
1890s brick warehouse meets contemporary workspace. Honestly one of our trickiest projects - respecting history while making it work for today's needs.
Heritage
North Shore Sanctuary
Net-zero energy home that doesn't look like a science experiment. The family wanted their carbon footprint reduced without sacrificing that mystical aesthetic.
Residential Sustainable
Pacific Gateway
Corporate headquarters that doesn't feel soul-crushing. We incorporated natural light patterns based on solstice cycles - sounds woo-woo but the productivity numbers don't lie.
Commercial
Kitsilano Loft
Small footprint, massive impact. We optimized every square inch using principles from Japanese ma and Swedish lagom. Turns out less really can be more.
Residential
The Alchemy Gallery
Former pharmacy turned art gallery. We kept the original apothecary details while installing state-of-the-art climate control. Building inspector loved it, which is rare.
Heritage Commercial
Seawall Vista
Beachfront property where we had to work with some seriously strict coastal regulations. The result? A home that feels like it grew out of the landscape naturally.
Residential Sustainable
Cellar & Sage
Farm-to-table restaurant wanted an earthy yet refined vibe. We used reclaimed timber and stone arranged in patterns inspired by Celtic knotwork. Chef says the space 'tastes right'.
Commercial
Whistler Retreat
Alpine home that had to handle serious snow loads while maintaining those clean modernist lines. The structural engineering was a puzzle, but we figured it out without compromising the design.
Residential
Rainwater Commons
Mixed-use building with a living roof that actually contributes to the neighborhood ecosystem. The rooftop bees are producing honey now - didn't plan for that but we'll take it.
Commercial Sustainable
Queen Anne Revival
1905 heritage home that needed serious TLC. We restored the ornate details while sneaking in modern mechanicals. Heritage committee didn't even realize we added underfloor heating - that's how you do it.
